somewhere out there

the lyrics of "Somewhere Out There" convey the love felt by two people separated by vast distances, but cheered by the belief that their love will eventually reunite them to be with each other once again. In the original theatrical production, the fictional characters singing "Somewhere Out There", Fievel and Tanya Mousekewitz, are brother and sister, and the love they share is described as general. however, in the more popular single version of the song, the love is described as more romantic.

this song was a potential Top 40 hit, and popularised by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram. originally written by James Horner, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.

listening to this song, gave me courage to sail through the difficult time of living alone. Facing all most possible unhappy situation. he said, survival is the most important thing that I have to learn. And I am learning it now, at this moment and until when in the future I do not know. perhaps it is going to be a lifelong learning. knowing he is there supporting me from vast distance, put me in tears and smiles at the same time. 

  

Somewhere out there
Beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me
And loving me tonight

Somewhere out there
Someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another
In that big somewhere out there

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there
If love can see us through
Then we'll be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

wait for me - aspetammi

several months ago i was introduced to the music of pink martini, a new york based group of music. they played, composed various kind of music into a very nice blended new atmosphere rich tunes for me, which is not overdo .... it is just nice! perfect nice....!

thomas f. lauderdale is the leader of the band, china forbes is their wonderful lady singer. one of my favorite tune is aspetammi (wait for me).

http://youtu.be/ld3AZyGWEgk

i was just back from a trip from a country where people wouldn't think i will come to visit. but finally i did. out of expectations, i could not explore much. my best friend who happened staying there for a 2 years period of 'giving back' service, was very sick. dengue..... the day i arrived was the first day of the bad fever started, followed by a painful headache....

everything happens for a reason....., i meant to be there, at the right time, at the right place ... even for the occasion that no one would like to be in. i meant to be here, to write a note again for my blog... sharing beautiful music and short story a chapter of my life.

one day, i will be back to that country.... i will walk along the beach, i will explore the surroundings, i will observe the people - many of them still living in poverties. lack of education, the government still struggling in finding the right formula to run the country... they are growing, they are developing, a process that will never end until the day when the world stop spinning....

on the aircraft that brought us out of the country, i looked at my friend face who tried to hold the pain, then i looked far away outside the window of the plane which start speeding to take off.....

aspetammi...., wait for me...., one day i come back to you....

bridge over troubled water

life is so unfriendly lately, but who cares..... this is just a station of transit.
live the life - i only have - the only chance nicely.., get the best out of everything.
i know in many cases i am not that optimistic..., but i am learning to be stronger and stronger everyday.

i will always remember friends in difficulties, friends who forget me in my difficulties, and friends who created difficulties for me.

emphasizing friends in difficulties, i found (not many) who truly like "bridge over troubled water", a legendary song by simon and garfunkel , released as a single in 26th january 1970, and in just a month and 2 days it sat at number one billboard 100 chart for six weeks. the single was sold around 6 million copies around the world.



early morning, 4 sept 2012. i was alone and decided to take some photographs of a river which i like very much. wanted to try my new kenko kb-67nd8 67mm standard coated neutral density filter 8X.

i like the result pretty much, but need more time to explore on using it. it was a working day, and i was not having enough time to 'play with'. will do again shortly, can be at the same river different spot, or totally different object.

see you, and be always optimistic, this world is just a station of transit, while we are here, harness that!

mad world

mad world...., maybe these 2 words are very correct to describe the now days condition, especially in the hometown where i am living in, wider..... in the country where i am be the citizen...., and more wider...., in these universe....


i was driving in the morning today, was a bit late, to go to my office. traffic was not so heavy, when i reached an intersection, the traffic light from my side turned red. i stopped and suddenly noticed, sounds of klaxon horn being pushed hardly from the opposite side. i saw a man riding a modified motorbike fell down. modification of the motorbike is like the below picture.

the poor man hardly to raise his motorbike, but i think it is so heavy and he could not do it himself. while the other riders just watched and push their klaxon horn like crazy without any mercies to the poor man.


finally, a policeman came across the road helping the man. the expression of the poor man still recorded very clearly in my memory, he was upset....


this is a truly mad world


LYRICS:
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world

down by the sally garden

being inspired by the movie dancing at lughnasa, lately i am amazed with celtic song. one of the song that i like is "down by the sally gardens ". listening to this song make my dream to visit ireland getting bigger and bigger. 

lyrics:

down by the sally gardens

my love and i did meet.

she passed the sally gardens

with little snow white feet.

she bid me take life easy

as the leaves grow on the trees.

but I being young and foolish,

with her did not agree.

in a field by the river

my love and i did stand.

and on my healing shoulder

she laid her snow white hand.

she bid me take love easy

as the grass grows on the weeds.

but i was young and foolish

and now i'm full of tears.

down by the sally gardens

my love and i did meet.

she passed the sally gardens

With little snow white feet.

she bid me take love easy

as the leaves grow on the trees,

but i was young and foolish

crisis ... crisis

the kid on the below picture is the grandson of the person who take care of my mountain house.
he is up to know is the only kid in the family.
spoiled, and do whatever he wants to do.

shouting and crying are his way to get attention or having what he wants. since i knew him, i and my man try to 'discipline' him.

whenever we spent time in this remote house he often visit us, have meals together and chit chat.

i feel like i am also holding the responsibility to put things right and to do right things.

just now, i told him for not wasting food. i don't know if he understood what i said, but at least he knew that wasting food is not good, many people such as in africa are now starving, even badly starving .... lack of food and nutrition.

while talking to him and enjoy our simple meals, i played th music of basil valdez - 'you'

whispering hope

sunday morning – 4th september, i was really surprised by a text from a dear friend, saying that somebody that we both know passed away.

she was 92 - when she died, yes…. pretty old, cancer…., but still her death bring emptiness to us.
she is a very independent woman, and very kind. she is a figure who feel 'cured' by songs. she loves singing and telling stories of her life experience.
one of her favorite song is whispering hope, which was the last song that she sang with my friend when she was being treated in a clinic.
she will remain in our memory, living there forever.

as a remembrance of her, I share story about whispering hope.

this beautiful and popular song was written by septimus winner (1827 – 1902). 

septimus' father was a violin maker. after attending philadelphia's central high school,

septimus and one of his brothers formed a music publishing business. by age of 20, he was also running his own music shop. he then became a popular music instructor in philadelphia, giving lessons in violin, guitar, and banjo and also do performance with several of the city's bands and orchestras.

was told that most interesting experience in his life occurred in 1862, after abraham lincoln had fired general george b. mcclellan for delays in attacking the confederate army. the firing of mcclellan angered.

septimus who quickly published a song entitled, "give us back our old commander: little mac, the people's pride." the song sold over 80,000 copies in the first couple of days, leading to his detained for treason. he was released when he agreed to destroy all the remaining copies of the song and apologized.

septimus winner produced over two hundred instructional books for more than twenty instruments, he wrote thousands of musical arrangements. 

whispering hope being the work he will most be remembered by. 

septimus was inducted into the songwriters hall of fame in 1970.

septimus winner based this beautiful hymn "whispering hope," on Hebrews 6:19, 1thessalonians 5:8 and hebrews 12:1. the hymn was published in 1868, and was the last popular song he wrote before he died.

"which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the

veil." hebrews 6: 19 

lyrics:

1. soft as the voice of an angel,
   breathing a lesson unheard,
   hope with a gentle persuasion
   whispers her comforting word:
   wait till the darkness is over,
   wait till the tempest is done,
   hope for the sunshine tomorrow,
   after the shower is gone.
2. 
   
3. refrain:
   • whispering hope, oh, how welcome thy voice,
     making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.
4. if, in the dusk of the twilight,
   dim be the region afar,
   will not the deepening darkness
   brighten the glimmering star?
   then when the night is upon us,
   why should the heart sink away?
   when the dark midnight is over,
   watch for the breaking of day.
5. hope, as an anchor so steadfast,
   rends the dark veil for the soul,
   whither the master has entered,
   robbing the grave of its goal;
   come then, oh, come, glad fruition,
   come to my sad weary heart;
   come, O thou blest hope of glory,
   never, oh, never depart.

early morning big fight

i was driving to my office earlier today, when at a glance i saw two dogs - one big and one medium size playing on something on the sidewalk. i was curious of what they were playing at, as I saw it looked like jumping. so i was slowing down and move to that sidewalk. i was surprised seeing the object that 2 dogs playing at, is a mouse. this mouse fighting back those 2 dogs bravely. but after a short while a kick from the big dog made the game finish.
i felt sorry for that mouse but seeing the way it fought, make me thinking along the way..., we should fight hardly and bravely for what we want, if we ended die like that mouse, it was a destiny, but i think we should fight and keep fighting.
my feeling was not good lately, being separated from my love ones is a big challenge.
but he and me, we both should fight to overcome the situation. keep on fighting for what we want.

and the correct song that i offer for that brave mouse is: ben - michael jackson



  

sad song

composed a very sad lyric for a very sad song
do not know if the song can be accomplished or remain unfinished
to sad to continue stepping the path of the future
as i know you will be separated from me

will you remember me?
will you keep me in your heart?
will i be part of you? or i will be forgotten?

but life should be continued
life should be continued
whatever it is..... it should be continued

music and technology

music and technology, now days can not be separated at least for me.
like today, i started building a page on my facebook account for 'muziek for everyone'.
being abroad for 4 days now (on assignment) my eyes were just openned to see the color of this life, how beautiful and painful it is.

the course that i took, brought me to a more sophisticated new gadget information and knowledge to cater my creativity and eagerness of technology (computer and mobility technology), while the people i saw and met taught me the lesson of adopting more the value that i want to add to my personal life.

eyes don't tell lies

i was in a cafe waiting for a cup of cappucinno before giving a volunteer music class, when i saw a piece of paper laying under the table. always don't like seeing rubbish scattered around  i pick it up and saw a beautiful handwriting on that paper.
this is what was written there (actually it is written in bahasa indonesia, i translated here):


a pair of eyes looking back at me on that mirror:
 a pair of eyes full of despair and sorrow
a pair of eyes that losing trust and hope
no tears as why should cry?
the wound already there anyway, leaving scars slowly deepen and deepen..
no one could cure, but me

i think it must be related to love (too judgemental? ..... i don't know), as love is the only things who bring unbearable painfulness in this world. i never trust there is a true love in this world (lol).

(my tweet today: focusing on what is being done and what should be done for others happiness, let the anger and hurts away. have a big heart and mind!)


anyway....., that handwriting brought my memory back to a song by peabo bryson and roberta flack back to 1983 (i guess). the title of the song is 'maybe'. i always love this song.

here is the lyric:

if we both decide to try and make it one more time
i hope we take the time to know each other well
and if the answers don't come quick we'll go with how it feels
and sometimes that's not yes or no but

maybe there'll be no falling stars this time around
i still believe that
honesty is all we'll ever need
you and me again, maybe

you keep asking me if i will love you for all time
if two of us will be enough to make it strong
and if we learn to keep it free and let each other grow
we'll find out there's no yes or no just

maybe there'll be no falling stars this time around
i still believe that
honesty is all we'll ever need
can we make it through, maybe

no candles or guitar this time around [this time around]
i still believe that
honesty is all we'll ever need [all we'll need]
you and me again [maybe]
maybe

maybe there'll be no falling stars this time around [this time around]
i still believe that
honesty is all we'll ever need
[till fade]

song writing

it has been many months, since i started to write songs. some of them are intended for worships, some are for friend's special occasions.

the process of my song writing are very helped with garageband by apple. it has plenty of instrument choices or apple loops to be used in the arrangement.

few months back i bought a small keyboard by m-audio, i chose the avid keystudio, which cost only around usd129 but give a lot of assistance in my creative process.

this keyboard is a dumb keyboard, it only function if you connect it to computer with song writer software (in my case: garageband on my mac).

now, apple released the garageband for ipad. and i am in love with this little software. in my experience in many cases i lost melodies as i don't have any tools to write or record it.
however i miss the numbers of instrument choices and apple loops from the garageband laptop version. the garageband for ipad is compatible both for ipad or ipad2. and it cost me less than usd 5 to have it.

ipad 2 and ipod touch

being an apple user, i am very happy using my ipad. It is a lot easier for me to post a new story. i can do it from the middle of nowhere, as long as there is gsm signal available.

my ipad is the first ipad generation. when apple releasing the new ipad 2 last week, i was tempted to have one. it is claimed lighter, faster and has camera installed. in my mind it more or less like the ipod touch.

i am using ipod touch, i love using it. what a handy little gadget. in my ipad and ipod touch, i am having several music editor application installed. and i can have lots of fun, recording certain melody of my own whenever i have free time using these 2 gadgets. many times the melody comes up in my mind, and if i did not immediately write it, i lost my track. having my ipod touch always in my pocket, i am not afraid of losing tunes anymore.

easier using ipad in recording the melodies as it has bigger screen. the quality of the sound produced is very good (piano). i am using virtuoso piano pro on both gadgets. but i still can't find good song writer app.

my temptation of having the ipad 2 is not strong as last week. i think i will stick on my existing ipad. i have my ipod touch to take pictures and videos anyway.

yogyakarta and keroncong

early this year, i have to fly quiet often to yogyakarta, a part of indonesia that has strong culture influence in their community daily life.

visiting yogyakarta always fill my heart with a warm nice feeling. the friendliness of the
people and the richness of their culture giving me just a perfect combination in facing the
life. somehow i feel the similarity between yogyakarta and bali - my homeland.
profusion of nature beauty and culture. intruding immensely into my soul.

for me keroncong and yogyakarta is a package, can't be separated. i found many keroncong
groups perform in many places in the city, from the street performance to the keroncong group
in hotels' stage. Some of them are really good. i found a more contemporary in malioboro street, but i failed to take the picture.

keroncong is a traditional javanese music, but it is inspired a lot of portugese music. the term keroncong, was a mimic of ukulele sounds which a must instrument in a keroncong group. they have acoustic bass, violin and sometimes flute.

talking about keroncong, it can not be avoided to also mention an indonesian maestro of keroncong. he is the late gesang martohartono or known as gesang, who composed the famous bengawan solo. this masterpiece is well known especially in japan. several keroncong songs which also composed by him such as terang bulang (full moon), tirtonadi, jembatan merah (red bridge), etc.

he was born in surakarta, october 1, 1917. the famous bengawan solo said was composed by him when he was only 23 years old (it was in 1940). he died in his hometown, in the age of 92 (may, 20, 2010).





















below is a free music scores for all of you. did it myself, hope you enjoy.

low cost carrier

hi, i am back.

i was too lazy to write something during the past one and a half year.
time running very fast, and i have just realized that i have been away for quiet long.

will try very hard to push myself to drop the laziness and start blogging again this year.

my first abroad trip in 2011 was to singapore mid of february.
that was the first time for me to fly low cost carrier airline.

i chose AirAsia who won the best low cost carrier airline award.

i must say it was not bad at all.
the service airasia gave on and off board were met the expectation even above.
well...., don't get me wrong, my writing is not to promote airasia, but if they get the good name because of my post, that is for their benefit.
a truth should always be a truth! agree??

i never like in flight meals. smells good but taste awful for me. i don't know why, somehow I
don't feel the freshness when having them.
usually i ate in flight meals only when i am really hungry, otherwise i just take the desserts.

on my airasia flight to singapore last february, i had a cup of coffee.
from the taste and smell i was pretty sure it was nescafe served.
very quickly my mind linked to the phenomenal nescafe famous ads "open up".
the original song was sung by laurie anderson.





my flight from bali to singapore was a pleasant one.
really enjoyed my first experience flying a low cost carrier flight.
oh..., i also did online check in which was very efficient.
(psssttt.....! but not in ngurah rai airport - somehow they did not provide special counter for online check in passengers).

for sure, in my next trip i will choose airasia again, as i save quiet a lot.
but i still can't imagine if it will be comfortable flying long hours with a low cost carrier craft.

and here, i copied the lyric of nescafe open up for you.

you can be rich with no money to spend,
you can do everything when you understand,
you can be mother when you are a man,
open up - you know that you can.

open your eyes, open your mind, open your thoughts - don’t stay behind!
(open up, open up, open up, open up)
nescafé
(open up, open up, open up, open up)

the key is inside you to open your mind,
you know what is helping (outhere???) - your heart can’t be blind,
open your eyes and open your mind,
open your thoughts - don’t stay behind!

open your eyes, open your mind, open your thoughts - don’t stay behind!
(open up, open up, open up, open up)
nescafé
(open up, open up)

you race all the boarders and start in your head,
open your mind to thoughts out and say, (????)
open your eyes and open your mind,
open your thoughts and don’t stay behind.

open your eyes, open your mind, open your thoughts - Don’t stay behind!
(open up, open up, open up, open up)
nescafé
(open up, open up, open up, open up
open up, open up,
open up, open up)
nescafé
(open up, open up,
open up, open up,
open up, open up,
open up, open up,
open up, open up)
nescafé

Summer Samba and Holy Spirit Minor Seminary - Tuka Bali

Well well..... you must be thinking the title of my post this time is weird..... :D

I am responsible for what I wrote and I have the explanation of why I picked that title.

But first, let me explore about the song. Summer Samba is a song originally written by a Brazilian composer Marcos Valle. The English lyrics is written by Norman Gimbell, while the Portugese version Lyrics written by Marcos Valle's brother: Paulo Sergio Valle.

The song first popularized by Walter Wanderley Trio and then many popular jazz singer also sang the song and recorded. Connie Francis, Diana Krall, Stacey Kent, Johnny Mathis, Astrud Gilberto and........ I don't know who else.

I like best the Stacey Kent's version for this song. She sang the song a bit slow compared to the original version.





Now, what is the relation of this song with the Holy Spirit Minor Seminary Tuka - Bali?
Yesterday I had a chance visiting the Holy Spirit Minor Seminary located in a small village near Denpasar - Bali. The place is still having their extension development project.

While walking around the place, Stacey Kent kept on 'singing' the Summer Samba or So Nice in my head. I don't know, that song has already been inside my mind for several days.

So nice, life would be so nice
If one day I'd find
Someone who would take my hand
And samba through life with me

Someone to cling to me
Stay with me right or wrong
Someone to sing to me
Some little samba song
Someone to take my heart
And give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to
Give love a start with me

What bothered me? Is that somebody that will stay with me right or wrong?
Human are very weak. Kindhearted people will be loved whilst the opposite will be left immediately. Is there somebody that will stay like what the lyrics of the song said??

While seeing the cross on the church and realized the body attached to it; I know who Somebody that will stay with me right or wrong. I do not need to wait ...... One day...., I have Him already, but just don't realize.

Found the answer, I spread a big smile. My foot stepping lightly after wards. I took several pictures of the place. (shared here for you)
































BTW, I admired the concept of the new extension of the seminary.
I think when it finished it will be a good place for children who choose to serve people by being a priest. They still need support to finish the project. Wanted to know more? Why don't you visit their website: http://www.bali-seminary.org/

When writing this post, Stacey Kent still 'singing' the song for me. But now, my heart feel so good, as I know the answer to what made me thinking hardly.

My friend laughing out loud when I showed her what I am doing now, she said it is just a song why be so much bothered?

Indeed, it is just a song, but the song influenced me a lot. So.................???

Lullaby of Birdland

COUNTRY MUSIC

Before, I have never really paid attention to country music.
Country music only passed my ear, and did not stay in my mind like other music genres for example jazz and classical.

Watching the American Idol program few days ago which took Country Music as a theme, I suddenly falling in love with country music.

The duet performed by Randy Travis and Carrie Underwood, singing Randy Travis' hits "I Told You So" made my heart melting.



It was just so beautiful. I could not explain in words.

Just watch the show! I attached the link here.



LYRICS:
Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you
And suppose I said "I wanna come back home".
And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson"
And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone.

If I told you that I realised you're all I ever wanted
And it's killin' me to be so far away.
Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together?
Or would you simply laugh at me and say:

"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours to and take my hand?
Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began?

Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you'd been so lonely
And you waited for the day that I return.
And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned?

Would you say:

"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

"Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

The Sheltering Sky

I admire Ryuichi Sakamoto. When listening to his music, somehow very easily I can be connected to the tunes. I like the syncopation he has in some of his famous composition, like what you can find in this "The Sheltering Sky".

The Sheltering Sky is a movie directed by the famous Bernardo Bertolucci - 1990.
The plot of the movie is about American artist couple Port and Kit Moresby travels aimless through Africa, searching for new experiences that could give new sense to their relationship. But the flight to distant regions leads both only deeper into despair.
